SāmāSāmātherīgāthā
Four or five times“Catukkhattuṁ pañcakkhattuṁ, I left my dwelling.vihārā upanikkhamiṁ; I had failed to find peace of heart,Aladdhā cetaso santiṁ, or any control over my mind.citte avasavattinī; Now it is the eighth nightTassā me aṭṭhamī ratti, since craving was eradicated.yato taṇhā samūhatā.
Though subject to so many painful things,Bahūhi dukkhadhammehi, I have, through my love of diligence,appamādaratāya me; reached the ending of craving,Taṇhakkhayo anuppatto, and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.kataṁ buddhassa sāsanan”ti.
